2006 Brewers Association Style Guidelines

Major Style:

Hybrid/Mix

Sub-Style Name:

Non-Alcoholic (Beer) Malt Beverages

Origin:

Other

Description:

Non-alcoholic (NA) malt beverages should emulate the character of a previously listed category/subcategory designation but without the alcohol (less than 0.5 percent). Non-alcoholic (beer) malt beverages will inherently have a profile lacking the complexity and balance of flavors which can be attributed to alcohol. They should accordingly not be assessed negatively for reasons related to the absence of alcohol.
